I guess I’ll consume the state mandated amount of treats and feel bad about it in a manner I’m prescribed to feel guilty about. That’s makes me a morally good person. I consume the right amount which is too much but I flagellate myself which its okay.
I'm supposed to be Hexbear's joyless scold and even I say they aren't inherently bad. How they are made in many cases, what propaganda is laced into them, and what sort of toxic fandom bullshit festers around them are the problem.
